By Milton Grannum

Prime Minister Mark Phillips faced a barrage of questions yesterday from opposition members about the $30.5 billion allocated for the much talked about $100,000 cash grant and there were doubts at the end of the session whether all persons 18 and above will be paid before the end of the year.

Questioning of the PM began at 4:04 pm and ended at 4:34 pm, with heated exchanges and persistent heckling dominating the period.

APNU+AFC Member of Parliament Volda Lawrence opened the floor.
